BossPaper, a Wallpaper Manager App for iPhone in Cydia Now

by iPhoneHeat on Aug 12, 2009

BigBoss has finally brought BossPaper for iPhone out of Beta and has release BossPaper v1.0 into the Regular BigBoss repository.

BossPaper is a wallpaper manager jailbreak app for your iPhone SpringBoard which uses a little memory and processor. WinterBoard also features wallpaper manager but BigBoss believes that this enhancement is not a WinterBoard replacement however it comes handy where WinterBoard leaves the gap.

Purpose:
You can already theme the wallpaper with Winterboard. So why the need for BossPaper? BossPaper provides a much more performance-friendly method to rotate background pictures of your choosing without Javascript.

Features:

Rotates images you select. Select multiple folders or just a few images. (Winterboard only shows images theme maker selects).
Rotation stops when iPhone is locked or an app starts. This is a critical point. Winterboard javascript rotation runs while locked and you cannot see it, or while you’re running another app, such as a game, causing overall system lag. BossPaper does not! As soon as you load a game, app, or such the rotation timer is immediately halted and resumed only when you return to the springboard (desktop).
Rotate with the transition you select from many available to get that cool look you want. Or randomize it!
Rotate on timer, a duration you select.
Totally customizable and controllable. You select what gets shown.
Compatible with winterboard (just make sure you disable any wallpaper themes in winterboard).
Very low RAM and CPU use. Almost no hit to standard iPhone performance. RAM use is about 1mb to load two pictures. Winterboard javascript rotation is a huge hit on iPhone performance in both CPU, Battery, and RAM (memory). Note: Winterboard, itself is not bad for system performance. Most Winterboard related performance issues comes down to some javascript type theme running.
